TERMS AND CONDITIONS

THE FLOWERS

It is The Clients responsibility to ensure that the flowers arrive to us in the best possible condition. The FPH cannot beheld responsible for any damage caused to your flowers whilst they arein transit via any Third Party.

Flowers delivered to The FPH are inspected and assigned a condition rating as to their preservation quality. By signing the rating box, The Client, or their Representative agrees to the rating that has been assigned.

It is an unavoidable consequence of the preservation process, that flowers change colour and take on a vintage appearance. Despite all best efforts of The FPH, the colour and appearance of the flowers will be different from how they were on the day of the event. The FPH will colour enhance flowers and foliage to minimise these changes. During preservation, some flowers, berries and foliage could be prone to shrinkage.

There will be an element of artistic interpretation employed during the making of the pictures.

Any bespoke alteration to our standard frames (over 8 x 6 in size) will incur a charge of £30

The picture(s) will be displayed/kept in temperate/dry conditions out of direct sunlight. Despite the use of conservation glass in the frames, over time, there may be a slight mellowing in the colour of certain flowers.

The FPH cannot be held responsible for the loss/damage of your flowers whilst in its care due to fire, flood, storm, civil disorder, loss of electricity, flood, or any other event beyond our control. Please note that The FPH’s liability is strictly limited to the amount of money that The Client has paid.

The FPH will endeavour to complete orders within a 20-24 week time frame but this timescale is not guaranteed. Sometimes, due to circumstances beyond the control of The FPH, this timeframe has to be extended.
